00:00Vice President Sara Duterte talked to the House Speaker and another congressman of the Human Rights Council.
00:05In the national budget, she also mentioned the request of some congressmen from their Human Rights Party.
00:11In the 5 billion pesos budget for classrooms in 2023, Sandra Aguinaldo was chosen.
00:20The budget of the Philippines is only held by two people.
00:25It is held by Congressman Zaldico and Congressman Martin Romualdez.
00:31That is the allegation of Vice President Sara Duterte in the second part of the video released by her office
00:38against the House Speaker Martin Romualdez and House Appropriations Committee Chairman Zaldico.
00:44Here, she detailed the issue in the national budget
00:48that she will submit her request to the Cabinet of President Marcos.
00:52Almost two months have passed.
00:55In 2023, some congressmen approached her to ask for their share of the 5 billion pesos
01:03for the construction of the classroom of the Department of Education.
01:07I was surprised because there were some members of the House who asked for the 5 billion,
01:17part of the 5 billion budget.
01:19How much do we have there?
01:22So I said, this cannot happen because what will happen is that the Department of Education
01:32will not be able to do our job of constructing the classroom.
01:35When she said she will not pay, the budget for the approved National Budget or General Appropriations Act
01:41increased by 15 billion pesos.
01:43But what was not added...
01:45That 10 billion is not controlled by the Department of Education.
01:51That is controlled by Congressman Zaldico and Congressman Martin Romualdez.
01:58For this year, the House reduced the budget of 5 billion pesos for the classroom repairs of the Department of Education
02:06and added it to the classroom construction.
02:09But according to the Vice President, the House made a list of where the classrooms will be built.
02:16We asked for permission from the office of Speaker Martin Romualdez, but they did not give their permission until now.
02:21The Vice President called what the Vice President said as a lie, that Romualdez's National Budget is controlled by them.
02:30They think that the people are very smart. We will answer that.
02:38First of all, the number of members of the appropriations is around 139.
02:43The Vice Chair is around 56.
02:46The congressman is 300.
02:48We have 24 senators.
02:51There are members of the Bicameral Conference Committee.
02:54Almost 30 are attending that.
02:57He also has a complaint with the Vice President regarding the use of the Confidential Fund in 2022.
03:03Remember, the Congress is the one who is saying that the use of the 73 million to 125 million Confidential Funds is wrong.
03:15It was only used within 11 days.
03:19The Napolis Fund, which was used for 60 days, lost here.
03:26It was only used for 11 days and now we will give him 2 billion to spend on the poor.
03:37We will give this to the right agency.
03:41We will not allow that even a single cent that we should be watching is lost.
03:49We listened to VP Sara.
03:52For GMA Integrated News, Sandra Aguinaldo was on air for 24 hours.
